Summary0025045: Excessively verbose tooltip.
DescriptionInitially discussed here: https://discord.com/channels/240637654717300736/468094385251418122/845841566954029056

This particular automatic description has been bothering me for a while, due to it being so verbose.
For starters, nothing in the game has a bubble forcefield and a personal shield, so if what it says is literally true, why would the second part need to reference both bubble and personal? It would never come up.

But, from what has been said in the link and elsewhere on discord, the tooltip is not factually correct - specifically, it applies to all shields, not just bubble forcefields, and it applies only while the shields are above 10k, not while shields are up. Thus, If it's personal shields as well as bubble forcefields, why doesn't it just say shields? If it's actually only while it's over 10k, why does it reference the maximum?
Suggested alternative:
"If the target has more than 10,000 shield strength, then the above weapon does 5x damage."
Much shorter and simpler.
"If the target has more than 10,000 (current) shield strength, then the above weapon does 5x damage."
Is still much shorter, but even more specific.

I realise this is a small thing, it just annoys me.
